Managing data quality and compliance

Abstract

In an approach to managing data quality and compliance, a computer retrieves data within a business enterprise system. The computer applies a set of rules to the data, wherein the application of the set of rules to the data produces a plurality of mapped data, and the computer aggregates the plurality of mapped data into a plurality of results. The computer then reports the plurality of results for a data display.

         1 . A method for managing data quality and compliance, the method comprising:
 retrieving, by one or more computer processors, data within a business enterprise system;   applying, by one or more computer processors, a set of rules to the data, wherein the application of the set of rules to the data produces a plurality of mapped data;   aggregating, by one or more computer processors, the plurality of mapped data into a plurality of results; and   reporting, by one or more computer processors, the plurality of results for a data display.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein applying the set of rules to the data further comprises:
 retrieving, by one or more computer processors, one or more data quality issues;   identifying, by one or more computer processors, at least one consequence of the one or more data quality issues; and   determining, by one or more computer processors, a probability level of each consequence of the one or more data quality issues, wherein the probability level is based, at least in part, on a frequency of the one or more data quality issues.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 determining, by one or more computer processors, at least one business impact value due to the at least one consequence; and   mapping, by one or more computer processors, the at least one business impact value of the one or more data quality issues to a plurality of compliance parameters.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the plurality of compliance parameters include at least one compliance parameter from a regulatory authority. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein reporting the plurality of results for a data display further comprises:
 retrieving, by one or more computer processors, one or more data quality issues; and   displaying, by one or more computer processors, at least one business impact value due to the one or more data quality issues.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the at least one business impact value is one or more of a financial impact value, an environmental impact value, and a safety impact value. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein retrieving data within the business enterprise system further comprises retrieving, by one or more computer processors, data from at least one utility within the business enterprise system. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 performing, by one or more computer processors, at least one check on the plurality of mapped data, wherein the at least one check is at least an accuracy check.   
     
     
         9 . A computer program product for managing data quality and compliance, the computer program product comprising:
 one or more computer readable storage device and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage device, the stored program instructions comprising:   program instructions to retrieve data within a business enterprise system;   program instructions to apply a set of rules to the data, wherein the application of the set of rules to the data produces a plurality of mapped data;   program instructions to aggregate the plurality of mapped data into a plurality of results; and   program instructions to report the plurality of results for a data display.   
     
     
         10 . The computer program product of  claim 9 , wherein the stored program instructions to apply a set of rules to the data comprise:
 program instructions to retrieve one or more data quality issues;   program instructions to identify at least one consequence of the one or more data quality issues; and   program instructions to determine a probability level of each consequence of the one or more data quality issues, wherein the probability level is based, at least in part, on a frequency of the one or more data quality issues.   
     
     
         11 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 program instructions to determine at least one business impact value due to the at least one consequence; and   program instructions to map the at least one business impact value of the one or more data quality issues to a plurality of compliance parameters.   
     
     
         12 . The computer program product of  claim 9 , wherein the stored program instructions to report the plurality of results for a data display comprise:
 program instructions to retrieve one or more data quality issues; and   program instructions to display at least one business impact value due to the one or more data quality issues.   
     
     
         13 . The computer program product of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one business impact value is one or more of a financial impact value, an environmental impact value, and a safety impact value. 
     
     
         14 . The computer program product of  claim 9 , wherein the stored program instructions to retrieve data within the business enterprise system comprise program instructions to retrieve data from at least one utility within the business enterprise system. 
     
     
         15 . A computer system for managing data quality and compliance, the computer system comprising:
 one or more computer processors;   one or more computer readable storage device;   program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage device for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the stored program instructions comprising:   program instructions to retrieve data within a business enterprise system;   program instructions to apply a set of rules to the data, wherein the application of the set of rules to the data produces a plurality of mapped data;   program instructions to aggregate the plurality of mapped data into a plurality of results; and   program instructions to report the plurality of results for a data display.   
     
     
         16 . The computer system of  claim 15 , wherein the stored program instructions to apply a set of rules to the data comprise:
